This work reports the development of atmospheric pressure plasma reactor with dielectric barrier discharge DBD for material treatment. The DBD discharge has been generated in planar geometry reactor powered by ac voltage provided by conventional high voltage transformer. The dielectric barrier consisted of two glass slabs, which cover both reactor electrodes. The air discharge gap between the d...

The ANTARES collaboration is building a deep sea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. This detector will cover a sensitive area of typically 0.1 km and will be equipped with about 1000 optical modules. Each of these optical modules consists of a large area photomultiplier and its associated electronics housed in a pressure resistant glass sphere. The design of the ANTARES optical module...

A solar absorption icemaker was designed. It is an intermittent system and uses Calcium Chloride and Ammonia as absorbent and refrigerant respectively. The single glazed collector/absorber/generator unit uses a plane glass sheet as the outer cover. Overall collector plate exposed area is 1.0m. A thermodynamic simulation of the icemaker has been performed in order to investigate the effect that ...

In this paper, the radiation performance of a monopole inverted T shape patch antenna designed on glass epoxy FR4 substrate. The proposed design is capable of providing enhanced bandwidth to cover Wi MAX, Wi Fi , WBAN and Bluetooth operations at Absolute Bandwidth (GHz) Below -10 dB is 2. 4GHz to 3. 8 GHz = 1. 4 GHz Second 5. 2 GHz to 6 GHz = 0. 8 GHz and Third 7 GHz to 8. 6 GHz =1. 6 GHz allot...

Morphology continues to be indispensable for primary isolation and recognition of bacteria. Under controlled conditions of growth, microscopic and gross characteristics of most bacterial species are constant, replicable, and have high differential values. This report is concerned with microculture morphology of Mycobacterium 13 mm) was then placed over each planted area. The plates were incubat...

An X band patch antenna was integrated on top of the cover glass of commercial space-certified solar cell and was studied for understanding the interaction between the solar cell and the antenna. It was found that the solar cell acts as a lossy substrate for the antenna and reduces the gain of the antenna by about 2 dB, and such a reduction remains consistent for different working states of the...

A method for effective development of solid-phase immunoassays on a glass surface and for optimization of related protocols by highly sensitive quantitative monitoring of each assay step has been proposed and experimentally implemented. The method is based on the spectral correlation interferometry (SCI) that allows real-time measuring of the thickness of a biomolecular layer bound to the recog...

A lab-on-chip system, integrating an all-glass microfluidics and on-chip optical detection, was developed and tested. The microfluidic network is etched in a glass substrate, which is then sealed with a glass cover by direct bonding. Thin film amorphous silicon photosensors have been fabricated on the sealed microfluidic substrate preventing the contamination of the micro-channels. The microflu...

Stimulating integrin and growth factor signaling is a major goal to regulate cell-material interactions. This cover shows biomimetic peptide containing the RGD cell adhesive motif osteogenic DWIVA sequence anchored glass model substrate. work can be found in article number 2001757 by Carlos Mas-Moruno co-workers. Such functionalized surface fine-tuned behavior of C2C12 cells synergistic manner.

Glasses with high elastic moduli have been in demand for many years because the thickness of such glasses can be reduced while maintaining its strength. Moreover, thinner and lighter glasses are desired for the fabrication of windows in buildings and cars, cover glasses for smart-phones and substrates in Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) displays. In this work, we report a 54Al2O3-46Ta2O5 glass fabric...
